Catalytic-activity rate (cat.rate)
Abbreviation |
Cat.rate | ||
---|---|---|---|
Definition in words |
Change in catalytic-activity of component B divided by the elapsed time Note: Component B is a catalytic component. |

Definition by equation |

Systematic terms
|
Catalytic-activity rate of component B in system 1 | ||
Result type |
Rational scale |
|
Numerical values from 0-∞ |
Unit |
µkat/second, µkat/day, U/day, U/second, etc. Note 1: Katal (abbreviated “kat”), is recommended unit for catalytic-activity kind-of-quantity. (katal=mol/s) Note 2: Enzyme unit (abbreviated “U”) is acceptable for use (e.g. U, kU) but it is recommended to use katal. (Enzyme unit=µmol/min) |
||
Special rule(s) in the NPU syntax |
The catalytic component (component B) is termed according to the International Enzyme Nomenclature (see Medical and metrological vocabulary). “Procedure” is stated in the specification to the kind-of-property in the NPU definition. “Procedure” indicates that the measurement procedure must be stated somewhere else than the NPU code and there may be difficulties in comparing values for the same NPU code. |
